LS 1 :All living organisms have identifiable structures and characteristics that allow for survival (organisms, populations, and species)
National Standards:
Context of Lesson:
Overview of lesson, including: where it fits in unit, what are key ideas and what will students be doing.
Opportunities to Learn:
Depth of Knowledge
Prerequisite Knowledge: Understand process of photosynthesis, understand that water is necessary for photosynthesis, familiarize students with plant anatomy
Plans for Differentiating Instruction
Accommodations and modifications
Environmental factors
Materials
Objectives:
Instruction:
Opening: Review parts of plant. Ask questions about functions of different structures leading into specific parts (xylem,roots,leaves,phloem) that function in transportation of water and nutrients in photosynthesis. Provide a handout that diagrams plant parts and ask students to draw arrows along the path where they think water and nutrients travel.
Engagement: Set up lab expeiment with carnations. Critical thinking handout where students hypothesize about what they think will happen with the dyed water.*students will make observations over several classes*
Closure: Students will discuss/share their hypotheses with classmates. (think-pair-share)
*after completion of the lab students will have to review hypotheses and attempt to explain observtions/results. Show a video clip of movement of water throughout the plant. water transport
